Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very enjoyable read!
Review: I immensely enjoyed this book. After reading the last negative review on this title, I had to put in my support for this title. I liked Ms. Dolan's characters and found them immediately appealing. I admit the storyline was not all that realistic, but I liked the adventure aspect. Ms. Dolan reminds me a bit of Carla Kelly's characters, in that they are truly unique, three dimensional, and very memorable. This one will be a keeper on my shelves.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Witty, and mysterious
Review: I picked up the book because the author's last name is the same as mine (are there better reasons?) I found the book funny, without being stupid, with enough mystery to add spice to the romance. I've gone on to enjoy several other books by Ms. Dolan.

Summary: Far-fetched and ultimately tedious
Review: Yet another writer who doesn't get her historical details and contemporary mores correct; there were too many things which made me blink in this book.

Apart from that, the story was uninteresting and ludicrous. Wealthy woman's relative tries to kill her by drowning her. She's rescued by some sort of pirate/robber, with whom she - naturally! - falls in love. She decides that she needs to marry in order to protect her fortune, so she marries her criminal. And then tries to pass him off as an aristocrat!

I'm sorry, but please!

A one-time read which went straight into the charity bag afterwards.
